If you've got 411's on order already, you might as well just add a 311 to that order instead of the Rodent Solutions....

Nothing against the Rodent Solutions, but I love my 311... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

-Very lightweight
-Res-c handle feels great
-Great balance
-Sabre grind makes for a tough edge
-Choil is useable, yet takes up very little edge

The only way I would choose the RS over the 311 is if it was one of the Ganza variants with the deep dish hollow grind and satin finish.

But those go for $180 vs $70 for the 311..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

For $180 you could get a War Dog, or spend a touch more for a Basic 4 LE... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Just my thoughts anyways..... which are worth very little indeed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

311 is fine and dandy, but I DO like the ergos on the RS...now if it would only hold an edge... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I would like to be able to try a R4 in hand. I love the RS but I did not at all like the R9 in hand so I am hesitant about the 4.

Ask and you shall receive (the chance I mean) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I do not own a 4. I bought the Rs preorder a few years ago(?) It wasn't sharp but after I put an edge on it...I have never sharpened it again. I do not walk around looking for things to baton or chop. A real working knife that feels good in the hand and takes a beating. I own 8 of them now.
